Acknowledgements
This report was written by Lily Sparks, research associate, and Kate Weine, senior
coordinator, both in the Advocacy division at Human Rights Watch. Sarah Yager, Washington
director of the Advocacy division, oversaw this report, providing critical direction and advice.
All cases included were previously researched by current and former researchers at Human
Rights Watch. This report would not have been possible without all of their efforts.
The report was reviewed by individuals across the organization, who provided invaluable
expertise. This includes researchers, assistant researchers, deputy directors, and associate
directors in the Asia, Africa, Middle East and North Africa, and Europe and Central Asia
divisions. Colleagues in the Advocacy, Refugee and Migrants, Technology and Human Rights,
and Women’s Rights divisions also reviewed. Tom Porteous, deputy program director,
provided programmatic review. The Legal and Policy office provided legal review. Jack
Spehn, senior associate in the Economic Justice and Rights division, proofed the report.
Production support was provided by Travis Carr, digital publications officer. This report
was prepared for publication by Fitzroy Hepkins, senior administrative manager, and Jose
Martinez, administrative officer.
This report builds on other organizations’ groundbreaking work on transnational
repression. Human Rights Watch thanks colleagues at Freedom House and the Middle East
Democracy Center for their expert input and collaboration.
Human Rights Watch is grateful to all who have shared their experiences with us.
